1
Rim the Glass
Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of the glass, ensuring it's moist enough for the salt to stick. Then, dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add the tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice cubes to chill the mixture.
3
Shake the Cocktail
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well combined and chilled.
4
Serve the Cocktail
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice or serve straight up without ice, depending on your preference.
5
Garnish
Garnish your margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for presentation.
